War Room Citizens,
the Dragon's fire is still burning, but it won't be enough.
With a heavy heart, I concede defeat and congratulate my opponent @Palis to his victory.
I want to thank all of my voters and supporters. I'm incredibly proud of the support you have shown me and even if it has not been enough, I am grateful that you believed in my effort to make the War Room a better place.
Going into the Primaries, I did honestly not expect to survive the cut to the final two. Little could I have expected the abysmal showing by all other candidates with the exception of the well-managed Palis campaign, so I suddenly found myself in the role of the defender of decency and respectful discussion in the War Room.
In times like these, this was a losing proposition from the start. My opponent Palis has insulted the War Room citizens as "fucking stupid cans", zealots and retards. I challenged him on these grounds. Obviously, that was the politically correct thing to do.
But political correctness is not what these times call for, so I will be blunt here. There are many stupid cans, zealots and retards in the War Room. Palis was correct. You only need to have an honest look at the voter list for him and you will recognize that for a sizable portion of the people on there, this conclusion is inevitable.
They're not retards for voting for Palis, however. The Palis /
@Dr J campaign fought a dirty but brilliant campaign and victory is well deserved. I ask all of my supporters to give Palis a fair chance. My campaign's goal was to bridge the divide in the War Room; the General Election split the War Room right down the middle. It must not be a split that makes the existing differences worse.
I fear that is precisely where we are headed, however.
I believe the proposals the Palis campaign has made will not help the War Room if they deliver on their promises. Discussing Pizzagate in the Presidential thread? Boobie pics in the Presidential thread? A weed column in the Presidential thread? If you consider all of those campaign promises, you see that the majority of the War Room wants entertainment, not serious political discussion.
And it gets only worse. Palis promised a Golden Cuck award to be handed out regularly. This will be an instrument that will be used to ridicule and deter more liberal posters in the War Room. The conservative majority may smirk at the idea, but our warnings of a far right wing echo chamber were not empty words.
Finally, we have the idea of a War Room parliament. Nobody knows what it is supposed to be good for, nobody know what that parliament is supposed to discuss or decide. All I know is that the campaigning, elections and actual parliamentary proceedings will distract from the actual War Room discussions. That cannot be good.
These are my honest concerns. But I feel that there is a lot of motivation in Palis and his team to make his reign a successful one. And it needs to be a successful one, or it will be a bad year for the War Room. My policy has always been War Room First. I therefore offer my help and I believe there may be areas where we can cooperate in order to bridge the divide. If they want to contact me, they will find me in my retirement mansion in Mount Saltmore.
